How to Love (C!Quackity x reader)

Sins

TW: mentions of de@th and k!lling. I will say when TW starts. read at your own risk.

You and Quackity were walking back to your apartment. In silence. You didn't know why he was silent, but you were scared to say something. Maybe there was just nothing to say.

Quackity's face flashed through your mind when Technoblade was brought up. Your curiosity always had a way with getting to you, now was not any different.

"So... what's wrong with Technoblade...?" You questioned.

"Ugh." He groaned. "I knew you would ask about him."

"...Is it a bad topic? Should I not have asked?"

"No... it's fine." He hissed. "I have a bad past, and I misplayed my cards, and I got this scar from Techno." He muttered, pointing at the scar that slithered down his eye and through his mouth.

Oh.

So that's where it came from.

Immediately, you felt embarrassed for asking and opened your mouth to apologize.

"-Don't say sorry. It's not your fault, it was mine. He was protecting himself from me. And I deserved it."

Staring at Quackity, speechless, you couldn't think of anything to do in response.

"If you're okay with saying... can you tell me the whole story?"

Why the fuck would you say that? This was a sensitive topic for him and you want the whole story? For once you didn't think before you spoke, and you were bashing yourself for it.

His eyes widened slightly, only enough for you to notice, then back to normal.

"It's a long story." He sighed.

"We have time."

After you muttered the words Quackity grabbed you by your wrist and walked you over towards a bench nearby. He sat you both down before continuing. Facing you, he spoke again.

"Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Without hesitation, "Yes." You replied.

"But you have to promise me... you won't think of me differently after this? It was a long time ago and I've changed."

"I promise."

Quackity moved his body to no longer face you and began reciting the story like he wrote it.

TW START

"A long time ago, during L'Manburg, I was in a small group that wanted to kill some people we thought were deserving of death. Technoblade was one of these people because he helped destroy L'Manburg during the last war."

"This group included me, Ranboo, Tubbo, and Fundy. We set out to Philza's house to find anything that might tell us where Technoblade was. We found a compass leading towards it. Followed it, found his house and forced him to go on 'trial'. When in reality this trial was just to kill him. Of course, he didn't go down without a fight. Even with four of us against one, he was beating the shit out of us."

"I had the idea to threaten his horse so he would give up. He did, thank the Gods. We brought him back to L'Manburg and placed him in a contraption that Tubbo built to drop an anvil on him and kill him. Of course it wasn't that fuckin' easy. Turns out, he's a fucking genius and smuggled in a totem of undying."

TW END

"He used the anvil to get out of the cage we made and ran off with his horse into a tunnel. I followed him. He got iron armor from a chest that was randomly there? I have no fucking clue why that was there to this day. We fought, and he won. With a damn pickaxe to my face. I had all the odds in my favor, and I still lost. That's how I got this gut wrenching scar."
